Mr. H. w. Hart, who returned Monday
from trip to Kansas gives vivid sketches
of the "boom" that prevails at Wichita,
Newton, Wellington, Winfield and Arkan-

the most of these places is merely a retlec
ton of that of Wichita. At Wichita the
Altonians saw the circus and the elephant
combined 1t was like St Louis Mardi
Gras season, the streets crowded and
business on a rush, apparently, day and
night. A $500, 900 hotel is being erected
on a 500, 600 tract of land that was bought
for about 5000 few years ago. An un
successful attempt was made to play the

ALL WRONG.

There seems te be disposition among

tary towns.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
To the EDITOR Daily Eagle.

! To the EDITOR Daily Eagle.
The passage of the interstate railroad
law by congress has been the subject Of
much criticism by the newspapers of thu
country. There is one thing in connection
with this law that do not remember te
have seen discussed That is, what were
the influences brought to bear on congress
to induce them to pass this law at the time
they did. 1t will be conceded by all read
ers of the leading newspapers of the time
that the subject was not being generally
agitated throughout the country. No great
political parties had promulgated in theil
party platforms that the interests Of com.
merce demanded legislation by congress on
this subject. The people who will be most
effected by the operations of this law were
not clamoriDg for its passage. On the
contrary, the people of the great west,
who arr. most interested in transportation,
being farther from the seaboard, have re-
garded with mistrust every attempt on the
part of congress to regulate the railroads of
the country. This is substantially true of
the large majority of the people of the
great west, notwithstanding our represen-
tatives nearly all voted for the passage of
the law. The simple statement of few
historical facts will, l think, clearly dem
onstrate that if the railroads themselves
did not dictate this legislation it will
at least ultimately result to their
benefit instead of the people
1t will be remembered that very many
Of the Western states have undertaken to
regulate the business of the railroads. /! 1t
will also be remembered that this regula-
ton was and is very distastefnl to the rail
road companies The railroads denied alb
solutely the power of sovereign states to in
terferc with their right to levy tribute on
the trade of the country. They held to
this position until the supreme court OF the
United States decided against them. The
railroad are also demanding better pro-
lection of their property. They are de-
manding the power of government to pre-
vent organized labor from interfering
with the operation of their roads during
STRIKES" Now how will legislation by
congress on this subject benefit the rail
roads? In the first place there is no doubt
but that the right to legi>late on the subject
of interstate commerce is right delegated
to congress by the federal constitution.
Hence when the congress shall have passed
a law regulating the railroads of the coun
try in the interest of interstate commerce,
that law will be the supreme
law of the land on that sub
ject state laws to the contrary
The ultimate result of
this legislation will be to tai G the entire
Inject from the states and place it in con-
yress.. The ability of the railroad COM
panies to take care of their own interests in
congress is not questioned by any very
arge part of the population in this coun-
ry. After mature deliberation l have

At first had thought them all much alike,
for each had a pink-and-white skin, smooth
fair hair, and straight small features. Now
saw that there were points OF contrast as
well as Of likeness.
The eldest, Gwendollne, Lady Martin
POmeroy, appeared TO me the handsomest.
Her hair had CLEANS Of red which gave II a
warm golden hue, her color was brighter,
and her eyes were of shifting greensh
hazel, while those of her sisters were blue.
The short upper lip seemed TO have q con-
flrmed curl Of contempt; but the eyes were
eager and even passionate In their quick
flashing glances. Her eyebrows were we'll
marked, and her hair, growing low on her
white forehead, was thrown back plainly
and fastened In a careless twist low on her
neck. There was a costly necklet about her
throat, and there were jewelled rings on her
long slim fingers, besides the plain wedding
circlet, which brought 10 my mind n mo-
mentary curiosity as to Lord Martin, her
husband.
Next furtively studied the outward ap-
pearance Of Miss Farquhar, who had main
tanned perfect silence, and read LOthdir
calmly while she slipped her tea, as If no
other person were In the room. Some peo-
pie considered her by far the most beautiful
OF the three sisters, but never understood
the preference. To me she was as a waxen
enigy, compared with the living, speaking
charms Of flesh and blood. Her face, with
its delicately outline, was cold,
proud, faultlcss. The large blue eyes, un-
faitering in their steady gaze, were clear
and bright a sapphireS, and as hard. The
penclled eyebrows were finely arched, the
nose was straight and Grecian, the upper lin
haughtly curved, the lines of cheek and
throat and arm were almost perfect The
classic shane Of her small head was display
ed by thu ripping pale yellow hair which
was plated in small colt; her figure was
tall and qu"rnly.
But the third, Annis, in missing the per
fiction of her sister, gained a charm she
would Away, lack. Rourher hair, in way
ing irr.guIlr curlS on IA forehead, a softer
dImp!"! e IN, and p ,utng under lip ini-
parted a lOvablenrss that was TO me more
pleasant H. look upon than all the exquisite
beauty of Miss Farquhar.
There was striking resemblance letween
the three; but said IN my heart that their
natures were as differing as the splendOTS
Of opal and diamond and pearl.
Afterwards | learned the truth of the in
stincts of that first night Scarcely could
three women, linked by birth, education
and companionship, contrast more complete
ly; and the opal, with its heart of flame, the
cold brlliance of the diamond, and the soft
purity of the pearl but imaged the glowing
intensity OF then human prototypes.
